Have you gotten your vitamin d levels tested? I was super depressed for years and kinda still am ya know but, I broke three ribs from coughing and ended up getting my vitamin d tested since I had bone loss, and my vitamin d levels were so fucking low, I’m now on a prescription vitamin d dosage and it’s been four weeks and I feel better depression wise really. Nothing else has changed except I’m taking vitamin d. It can really fuck you up if it’s low so please try to get tested especially if you are feeling so depressed.

Ohh funny you should ask, I have been taking a vitamin D3 supplement for the past week (alongside starting lexapro) and i’ve definitely noticed a difference in my mood! beforehand i hadn’t had my levels checked but considering i live in the pacific northwest and have severe clinical depression, it’s a safe bet my levels were pretty fucking low LOL. i also just got a blood draw to check for other vitamin deficiencies and i’ll hazard a guess and say i probably need to be on more supplements lol
